The "tipping point" theory is the biggest scam I've ever seen. Think about it: In the old days, they'd just say the world was going to end in 10 years. But they got tired of being mocked for being wrong. So now, it's a "tipping point": In 10 years, we're doomed, but it won't be measurable, it'll just be too late to go back.
And, of course, in 10 years, when we should just say "oh, well, there's nothing we can do" there will be another 10 year plan.
It's a great scam.
